Content Moderation Case Study: Reclaiming A Hashtag (2020)
Furnished content.
Summary: The Proud Boys, a group with a history of violent interactions, often in support of Donald Trump, received prominent attention during the first Presidential debate of 2020 between Trump and Joe Biden. Upon being asked about whether or not he would condemn white supremacist groups that support him, Trump asked for an example. When given The Proud Boys, Trump told them to stand back and stand by, which many in the group took to be an endorsement of their activities.
